[6]The first mentions of the village of Podol, which belonged to the votchina of the Danilov Monastery, are contained in the church letopis of 1627-1628.

On October 5, 1781, by the personal decree of Catherine II, the Podolsky Uyezd was formed, and the village of Podol was renamed the city of Podolsk.

Among the cities near Moscow, Podolsk in the second half of the 19th century stood out with the highest population growth rate.

In 1917 the stone buildings of a realschule, a cinema, a power plant, and a water supply were built, and the number of citizens reached 19 thousand.

[7] In the 1930s, American communist writer Myra Page described Podolsk in her pamphlet Soviet Main Street.
